When we first started with Apaleo, it felt a bit too minimal. But very quickly we realized: that’s actually the strength. Instead of being forced into predefined workflows, we were able to build the processes exactly the way we need them – using Apaleo’s open and well-structured API.

We love how easy some of the standard procedures are done in Apaleo e.g. like invoice correction or day closure is for our team. Also from the POV of the management: easy reports, large App Store to Connect with up to date partner platforms and on top of all a whole automation sandbox to play with via make.com

Expert Q&A and Partner Recommendations

Submit Recommendation
Question:

What does this product or service do well?

Answer:

What Apaleo does really well? It keeps things lean. No fluff, no bloated legacy nonsense. Just a clean, open platform that makes it easy for hoteliers to build the tech stack of their dreams. With plug-and-play flexibility, real-time connectivity and an API-first mindset, Apaleo gives you full control to create exactly what fits your operations—nothing more, nothing less. It’s made for teams who want freedom to move fast and stay efficient.

Question:

What differentiates this product or service from the competition?

Answer:

Radical openness. While most PMS providers still operate as closed ecosystems or charge a fortune for integrations, Apaleo is API-first and truly open. Every function is accessible via API, and every integration—whether it’s a guest messaging tool, a payment gateway or a revenue system—can be added without begging your PMS vendor or waiting months. That means tech-savvy hotel teams can move fast, automate like pros, and scale without friction. It’s not just a PMS, it’s an infrastructure play—built for modularity, not monoliths. In a nutshell: Apaleo is not trying to do it all. It’s making sure you can do it your way.

Question:

Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?

Answer:

Come with a clear vision of your ideal tech stack! This platform shines when you know what you want: the CRM you love, the RMS that works best for your segment, the guest journey tool that fits your brand. Apaleo won’t box you in. It gives you the freedom to plug in best-of-breed tools and automate workflows that make sense for your operation. So don’t treat it like a traditional PMS. Treat it like the tech foundation of your hotel’s future.
